Chess player

I used to be a pretty decent chess player. Even beat the games a few times.

Not because of my brilliant overall game either.

But simply because I was good at defense

I play such a good defense

That it may look like offense

But it's really just me guarding my king

Or in real life

Guarding my heart

Which is why I believe

While chess is indeed a lot like life

That it really shouldn't be

It really shouldn't
